(Tacoma, WA)  --  Police are warning about rainbow-colored fentanyl making its way to the Pacific Northwest.  The Pierce County Sheriff's Office says the dyed synthetic opioid has been seized at the U.S. southern border and in Oregon.  Authorities say they have found fentanyl in pill form and pressed blocks, both resembling candy and sidewalk chalk.  Authorities are asking parents with young children to be on the lookout for this opioid, especially in public places and playgrounds, and encouraging them to talk to their teenage children about its deadly consequences.
